Here are the forage allocations for the Paisley Desert HMA, as presented in Table 1 of the Final EA for wild horse management actions therein.
The HMA intersects four allotments and has a Herd Area Management Plan (HMAP).
Would you say it’s managed principally for wild horses?
The Saint Patricks allotment is 100% inside the HMA but livestock receive over 20 times more forage than horses on that parcel.
The EA said on page 27 that solar-powered wells were proposed for the HMA to provide water for the horses but over 700 of them were removed last month due to lack of water.
